Some of you guys might enjoy this old timer. I've been collecting cars for 45 years, but until now never had a 50's car. For a long time, I've been thinking about what to get, and seeking a good opportunity. Well, the right car finally came along, and I knew right away that it was the one for me! I saw the ad late last saturday night, talked to the seller sunday morning, hit the road right away and drove 11 hours to see it monday morning. The seller said on the phone that it has mostly sat for the last 8 years but runs and drives nice. But when he started it for me, gas was squirting out the vent hole on the fuel pump. So I bought it without driving it, rented a Uhaul open trailer and hauled it home. Fins, bling, dual quad Hemi, and a folding top. I don't think I could have found a better car to represent the 50's in my collection. The new fuel pump from Rock Auto should be here tomorrow.

For your first 50s car that one is a winner. Congrats on your purchase.

Wow what a beautiful car! Great color combo too! Congrats!

That's a great looking car Joel! Gonna let Jeff drive it?

Pure awesomeness! Enjoy!

THAT looks a LOT like Richard Carpenter's old car! I am green with envy! Congratulations!

IF that's the car, it was sold in 2013 (I think) from the Don Davis Collection. That would fit with sitting 8 years. Although I think Richard's had the front bumper guards? Gotta find my pics...

Well your sure picked a nice one to represent the 50s.
I don't know that you could have picked a better one actually.

The 57-59 Desoto verts are top shelf for me , especially in black and gold . And with the Kelsey Hays wires is a huge bonus

Beautiful car. As said, perfect choice for a 50's car. Love it!! Best of luck with the sweet ride.

I'm glad you guys share my enthusiasm for the car, thanks for the nice responses!






I have some ownership records going back 20 years or so, but don't see a Davis.

If he wants to I suppose he could. As long as he stays away from deer territory!

Nice !! With only three hunnert Adventurer verts made in 57, there can't be many left that are as purdy as that. Big thumbs up.

Wow that is GORGEOUS! Nice score!

Def my favorite 1950s Mopar. Possibly my fave 1950s ever.

Yep, that is a nice one. Good choice for your 50d car.

Sweet I love it.

Awesome car
let me know if the trans ever needs work, there are a few things I had to learn the hard way about them ( assuming it's a cast iron flite similar to a 59)

Very very very nice choice.

Damn, way to start off with the '50s !
You don't screw around, do ya ?

Looks gorgeous, and the McCandless clan knows them inside out - for that matter, maybe even that specific car.

I love DeSoto styling,and that's as cool as it gets! Congrats!

Dang that is really nice. I'm surprised it fit on that Uhaul trailer though lol.
